'Divide & Fall' is the 2nd new single from The Wolfhounds in
2013. The lead song is an abrasive, yet catchy. A song that would sit
comfortably near the top of the bands extensive back catalog.

Earlier this year the band released their first new 7" in over 20 years ('Cheer Up').

If you don't know the history here is a brief outline from Oddbox Records:

"The Wolfhounds formed in the early 80s (no one quite knows when, as the process was
somewhat random and organic), the Wolfhounds became one of Britain’s
most persistent and consistent underground bands in the latter part of
that decade, and featured David Callahan on vocals, later of ‘post rock’
prime movers Moonshake. Though more orthodox than Moonshake
instrumentally, the Wolfhounds were just as distinctive and individual
and scored many independent ‘hits’ in their day, as well as remaining
critical favourites to the end of what could now be called their first
phase.

Having curtailed their activities in 1990, the band occasionally
reconvened from 2005 for the occasional live show, but 2011 and 2012
have seen a renewed vigour, with more live shows and new material
beginning to be written and recorded. In their first incarnation, the
band recorded four albums (nothing if not prolific, their last three LPs
were recorded and released within the space of one 16-month period) and
many singles and EPs, as well as appearing on the legendary C86 cassette which was distributed free with New Musical Express in 1986. Three sessions were recorded for BBC Radio One’s John Peel Show."

Hello, it's your favorite lazy blogger here. I am still catching up with Depeche Mode... now, wait, I mean catching up with my in-box. Thanks to all you submitters, and imagine being without the Internet for over two-weeks!
I'll start with this lovely three track offer from Field Harmonics. I was very impressed with the crisp production and look forward to more of their genre-blending work.

So, I love the new Henric de la Cour album "Mandrills" more than anything released in September (well, I guess that is not true, as Azure Blue is bloody good too). Here's a video (reminds me of a young Robert Smith) for what I predicted would be the first single.
